Oh no, Girl,
I hear you took my world again
Broke it down and spit it in my face
Funny how it makes things clear
Shows me which lines to erase

Life is our own endless puzzle
Me, I keep on learnin’
But you just wander with eyes closed
Not wanting this diversion

So it’s a shame that I once cared
And even dared to love
Watching as the smoke cleared up
And brought this portrait of...

Fireflies with angel eyes
A fairytale where no one cries…
“She never did exist
But you couldn’t resist…
Fireflies with angel eyes”

You’re just you again

Now…more mistakes are on the way
Pushing down the throttle
You can drown, but you can’t hide
Inside your poison bottle

And you can act like its okay,
The past is just a blur
Painting pictures of a dream
That wasn't really “her”

But that girl was a friend of mine
In fact…a little more
She was everything to me
She was you before...

Fireflies with angel eyes
A fairytale where no one cries…
“She never did exist
But you couldn’t resist…
Fireflies with angel eyes”

You're just you again

So…even though I want you still
And always hold you tight
Cupid’s arrows cannot reach
A target out of sight

But maybe we’re both better off
And I could use this space
To find new lines to walk across
And new lines to erase

But I will not forget this path
That dared my heart to love...
Oooh...I dared to love
I dared to love
Watching as the smoke has left
This final portrait of...

Fireflies with angel eyes
A fairytale where no one cries…
“She never did exist
And you...
And you couldn’t resist…

Fireflies with angel eyes”

Oh...the shadow in my heart now sighs…
"You’re just you again”

You’re just you again
You're just you
You're just you
You're just you...

Again

Hi there. I think this is the first time I've ever read your work. This would be one of my favorite songs if it were ever put to music.

enjoyed!
